Actually, my dermatologist and gynac both told me that progesterone increases sebum production, leading to clogged pores and early acne. They strictly warned against using retinol or salicylic acid products during pregnancy. Just stick to basic safe skincare.
Acne can definitely happen due to hormones, but sometimes hormonal changes like thyroid fluctuations also cause skin issues. Make sure you get your routine blood tests and thyroid checked as advised by your doctor.
Yes, those sudden pimples are usually due to the progesterone surge, especially if you are taking hormonal support. It is completely normal, dear, so please don't let it worry you. Sending you so much love and positive energy.
Oh god, managing office meetings with a face full of pregnancy acne was so annoying. Honestly, don't waste time on 10-step skincare routines now because it's hormonal. Just use a gentle face wash and stay hydrated while working.
Haan na, I also got so many pimples suddenly in my first month, absolutely normal. Mera face toh pura dull ho gaya tha, but postpartum everything becomes fine. Just don't apply heavy creams without asking doc, ho na.
